100LL in Anchorage area
note to self.. DO NOT buy gas at Birchwood airport PABV. Cost $5.90/gal.
Not paying attention, assuming Anchorage avgas prices are all about the same.. I topped off my tanks! Noticed price while I was reeling in hose.. I'm all for companies making a profit, but that is just crap!
Palmer $4.67/gal Lake Hood $4.55/gal. I filled my bulk tanks for $3.92/gal delivered from Shoreside yesterday.

WEEeew, that's quite a difference in price... It's been under $5 for a long time up here, and bulk about same as there... Guess they're paying for all the improvements around there on transients dime?

Like some others here I ran an fbo for awhile so I tend to buy a few gallons when I'm at an airport all day, courtesy fuel. Other than that I try and shop my fuel pretty close, I'm lucky the closest airport to the house has some of the cheapest prices in the state. Fore flight is pretty good for looking up prices and I'll go out of the way to a degree to pickup cheap fuel. I did have to stop in Vegas to pick up my brother coming back with the m4. I just toped the mains for the next leg but at close to 7 bucks a gallon it hurt.

That or take a loss. Either way, it's tough to find a win in there.
It was interesting to see some of the fuel prices in the SW. Naknek was $8.50, King Salmon was $9.25 and Illiamna was $7.65. It will be interesting to see what transipires this summer. Merill Field is $4.36 at the pump now. Willow is only $4.65 I heard.
When I bought the Peril and ferried home from OK to WA, I stopped in Four Corners for fuel and a stretch. With a cash discount, I paid $1.98 a gallon. I believe I still have that receipt.
